You see Paul Revere's profile in this portrait. He's facing right with a round face and light skin. The artist used a lot of detail to show Revere's features. The portrait was created in 1804, which is interesting because it shows Revere later in life. He was a silversmith and patriot, and this portrait gives us a glimpse of what he looked like. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of engraving.
